You DO realize where TSF is steering federal taxes don't you?

1. Collect taxes and then not spend funds that Congress has authorized.

2. Collect taxes from Blue States (more paid than Red States), divert those taxes to Red States, and withhold tax aid (like FEMA and to NYC if Mamdani wins) to Blue States. Blue states lose all their tax benefits after they paid for them.

A scheme that separates taxpayers from the benefits they paid for.

Gotta be illegal in some sense.

One of my favorite Substack authors, Christopher Armitage, wrote "Don't Sue First, Do First: 10 Soft Secession Policies You Can Fight For Today" in The Existentialist Republic about some great ways to resist, slow down, and make it costly for the Trump administration.
https://open.substack.com/pub/cmarmitage/p/dont-sue-first-do-first-10-soft-secession

The philosophy is simple: don't sue first, do first, wherever and whenever possible. Revenue and accountability create independence. Here's what you should be calling, emailing, and showing up to demand from your mayors, governors, legislators, and attorneys general right now:

1. Public Job Portal: Demand your state or city create a public alternative to private job hiring sites. Use existing infrastructure, charge businesses for postings, keep it free for job seekers. Revenue and public service in one.

2. Federal Tax Withholding Redirect: Push for all state employees and businesses to reroute federal tax withholdings through the state for audit purposes. Yes, it's ambitious. Start the conversation.

3. Protection Against Federal Overreach: Demand your municipality commit to arresting anyone conducting masked, warrantless abductions. Civil liberties need teeth.
